LON-5BC076: BROOCH
A Medieval copper alloy annular brooch dating 13th - 14th century. This ring brooch is hexagonal in plan with a circular central edge. This inner circular edge is decorated with diagonal stamped lines, creating a rough, twisted rope motif. There are raised pellets spaced equally along the edge which form a pair with pellets on the outer edge. These pellets divide the brooch into sections which fall in the middle of each of the straight edges of the hexagonal outer edge and they correspond with large rounded knops which project from the centre of the outer edge in the middle of each of the hexagonal faces. The brooch frame is decorated with drilled holes in between each of the pairs of pellets. These holes are slightly irregular; in three of the sections there are three holes and in two of the sections there are four holes. The pin articulates in a hole in the frame where the holes would have been drilled in the final section. The pin is undecorated and comprises a piece of copper alloy that is curved round on itself to form the point of attachment and then tapers down to the point. The outer edge of the brooch frame is similarly decorated to the inner edge with cut diagonal marks forming a twisted rope pattern. At each of the angles of the hexagonal frame there is a tri-lobed projection alternating with the circular knops, described earlier. There is a crack through part of the frame. The copper alloy has a dark green patina. Dimensions: length: 55.52mm; width: 52.62mm; thickness: 4.50mm; weight: 28.15g.

NARC-0E55A1: DRESS HOOK
A medieval dress-fitting in the form of a raised circular mount with a cabled border within a serrated edge. At the centre is engraved a representation of St Peter holding a large key against a gilded hatched background. The figure of St Peter appears black, possibly due to the oxidisation of the silver. A fitting is soldered to the reverse in the shape of an elongated S. The dress-fitting is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

A medieval gold finger ring with an inscription on the exterior. Below is the Treasure report for the item: Description A medieval gold finger-ring, the hoop in the form of a flattened band, inscribed * all : T : ioe : : in : T : god: ('all joy in god'). The two T letters probably signify the Tau cross, the symbol of St Anthony, who was thought to protect against St Anthony's fire, or holy fire, a form of ergot poisoning. Dimensions Diameter: 21mm. Width: 4.5mm. The find therefore qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996 in terms of both age and precious metal content.

BH-5F3CD5: BROOCH
Description: A silver open-frame brooch, made by bending a circular-sectioned wire to form the now-distorted ring. The pin is of circular section, tapers to a point and is slightly bent. Adjacent to the pin loop there is a moulded collar decorated with punched circles. Discussion: A parallel for this brooch is Treasure find 2006 T161 from Wiltshire (TAR 2005/6: 104, no. 316). In terms of age, and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal, it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

NLM-4D3573: SEAL MATRIX
Copper alloy seal matrix, lentoid or vesica-shaped (pointed oval), with a raised rib and suspension lug on the reverse. The central motif is an engraved device of a winged and maned quadruped walking right when the pierced lug on the reverse is held to the left, but rampant when it is held the conventional way up with the lug to the top. On the impression the animal appears to have a bird's head and so may be a gryphon, a mythical beast symbolising martial virtues. The inscription is not easy to read. Held with the lug to the left, it appears to read (below the motif) [?I]NRI DEO.Z [possibly for Jesus of Nazareth king of the Jews and God], and above it ECOTECE [possibly an imperative, and if in or derived from French reading, Hear!, or Listen! to Him, or to this]. When held the conventional way up, it appears to read alternatively FRANGE LEGE TEGE, a common anonymous inscription meaning Break, Read, Keep Secret. The first E of LEGE is at the base of the matrix. Length: 28.5mm, Width: 17.8mm, Thickness (clear of rib): 2.7mm, Weight: 6.06g. Medieval,14th century.

SWYOR-48F8B2: SEAL MATRIX
A copper alloy circular seal matrix dating from the 13th or 14th century and depicting a mermaid with long bent-up tail, holding her tail in one hand and a fish (with head uppermost) in the other. The reverse of the matrix is not decorated but has a central thicker rib with a lug at one end (corresponding with the top of the matrix design) which is pierced by a circular suspension hole. The legend is: +S•IEHANS ABLIN POISONNIER meaning 'The seal of Jehans Ablin, Fishmonger' in French and Latin. The personal name Jehans is a little unusual, Johans (John) being more typical. It is not clear whether this is a die cutter's error (substituting E for O) or if this is a different name. The personal name could also be split Jehan Sablin. Ablin is a rare English surname, with 20 occurrences on the 1881 census, most (15) in Essex. Sablin is a Russian surname. The design of a mermaid is unusual and this is the first seal matrix of this design recorded on the PAS database. However, designs that reflect the name or the profession of the owner are not unusual. Other mermaids on the database include a seal matrix that includes a mermaid above a possible merchant's mark: LEIC-674A50; a harness pendant of similar date to the seal matrix: SWYOR-F1C1C8; and a later use of a mermaid in a coat of arms: DUR-84F652.

DUR-338956: FINGER RING
Working treasure report: A complete gold Medieval finger-ring, with an oval bezel set with a blue stone, possibly sapphire. The hoop of the ring is circular in cross section: the shoulders are broader and taper into a thin band. Either side of the bezel is a narrow transverse ridge. The ring is in good condition, the only defect being that the hoop is slightly bent out of shape. A very similar ring has been found in Kington St Michael, Wiltshire and can be found in the Treasure Annual Report 2003, pg. 102, no. 169. The ring is typical of the late 12th or 13th century

SWYOR-271491: VESSEL
A late medieval (c.1400-1550) cast copper-alloy integral vessel mount (handle lug) in the form of three-dimensional female head from a late medieval hanging laver (bowl to hold water). The face is sub rectangular in section, being flat on the reverse (which faces the inside of the vessel). It is moulded in low relief. The hair is moulded ridges on the top and sides of the head, down to chin level. The nose is square and flat. Below is a indented line for the mouth and The eyes are large detailed features, but not even. They are formed of four horizontal grooves, square next to the nose and tapering to a point at the other side. The face has no chin and tapers into a thick neck, and then flares again into the upper part of the chest. The depiction ends here, and has a rounded base. The back continues further and would have joined to the wall of the vessel, but there is now a worn break with transverse groove cur across it. These may be later and could suggest reuse of the mount. On the reverse, the back of the head has a deep circular recess in it. This is where the end of the handle would have articulated with the lug. The back of the neck is rough, and the back of the shoulders are hollow with filemarks visible. The metal has a dark green patina. Compare WILT-F50A61, HAMP-D38182, BH-6D9171 and LIN-5224B2 as well as ESS-A02895 and SF-9A1617 among others. See a near-complete example in the British Museum, accession number 1956,0702.1. These items are generally dated to the fifteenth century.

NMS-3B5AF7: BROOCH
Copper alloy brooch or mount produced by attaching a backplate to a medieval jetton through means of a central rivet. Each pointed end of the flattened bronze strip has been bent around to form a loop; it seems likely that one these (bent back between strip and jetton) formed the loop for the pin and the other functioned as a catchplate although this fitting does not look particularly brooch-like and the sharply pointed ends may have themselves fastened the jetton instead to a cloth leather backing. The jetton itself has been mounted so that the reverse cross design is facing outwards to be viewed. This is usual way in which these jettons were mounted. The example used here is identical to Mitchiner 149, dated to c.1302-50. The obverse depicts a crowned bust facing with a border of pellets, the reverse a cross with a pellet cluster in each angle and a border of pellets. The conversion of jettons into brooches and mounts took place in the late 13th and early 14th century, appearing to die out around the middle years of the 14th century. Thus this jetton was probably adapted fairly soon after its production. The jetton is 21mm in diameter, the whole weighs 3.97g.

NMS-2940C6: BROOCH
Copper alloy brooch or mount made from an English Medieval jetton. A flattened bar of copper alloy has been rivetted centrally to the obverse of the jetton, so that the cross device on the reverse was displayed to the viewer. This tapers and is bent at each end, forming what is presumably a loop for a pin and a catchplate. The jetton is identical on the reverse to Mitchiner 171, an English type datable to c.1280-1343. The obverse is similar to that specimen except that on this example the Arms are not those of England but appear to represent pseudo-Heraldry, viz. three chevrons, a crescent in dexter chief, [sinister chief obscured]. Cinquefoils accost the shield and an indeterminate blob-like object is set above. Mernick reference 1a.1 Jetton brooches were clearly popular in the late 13th and early 14th centuries, the smaller English jettons often being so adapted. The fashion seems to have been dying out by the middle part of the 14th century. That fact, and the pristine condition of the jetton itself, implies that this brooch was made very shortly after the jetton had been produced.

BERK-0E9B71: SEAL MATRIX
A copper-alloy seal matrix, with a circular die and a hexagonally facetted conical handle. The handle has a triple moulded collar beneath an openwork quatrefoil terminal. The die is unusual (and currently unidentifiable) as there is no legend. The matrix depicts a stag's head (caboshed) with a triple-towered castle between the antlers; to either side of the stag's head is a tree, with a hunting hound running beneath. The whole of the background is lightly cross-hatched. Without a legend it is very difficult to attribute the seal to a specific person or place. The images on the matrix may represent an idealised hunting scene, but is more likely to be a pictorial description of the owner's name, residence or occupation. There are a number of records of arms that feature a stag's head caboshed, including one from the royal (hunting) Forest of Dean. It is possible that this seal may have belonged to an English sheriff; from the early 14th century onwards, such seals usually include a triple-towered castle in the design (Harvey & McGuiness1996:40). The possibility that this seal may have belonged to a sheriff is further strengthened by a comparison with the seal of Sir Gilbert Wace, Sheriff of Oxford from 1372 to 1379, now in the British Museum and depicted in the image opposite (accession number 1903,0619.1; Adams et al 2008, no. 11.2). This is also purely pictoral, depicting a triple-towered castle, a tree, an ox crossing a ford and a shield of arms. This seal matrix is likely to be of 14th-century date.

HAMP-6CAD57: BROOCH
The object is formed from a silver penny of William I (1066-1087) which has been modified into a brooch or badge. The reverse has been gilded, and brooch fittings attached by four rivets arranged at the points of a rectangle. Parts of the fittings survive on the obverse face which has overspill of gilding at its circumference. The coin is a silver penny of the Sword type (1077-1080; North 846), issued by the moneyer Leofing of Winchester (Biddle et al. 2012, 392; ref. 1974). Obv: [+Þ]ILLEM REX [I] Rev: + LIFINC ON P[IN]CSI Die axis: 12 o'clock The brooch is typical of a type of coin brooch which appears to have been particularly fashionable from the middle of the reign of Edward the Confessor (1042-1066) to some time in the reign of William I (1066-1087). While it is impossible to say exactly how soon after the coins were issued they were converted into brooches, it appears that this took place while each coin type was still current, which would mean no more than two or three years between the issue of the coin and the manufacture of the brooch, placing this example some time in the mid to late 1050s. At least twenty-one other examples are known, of which eighteen have been published. Dimensions: Dia.: 19 mm; weight: 1.53 g The Treasure status of objects of this type hinges on the fact that the coin has been converted into a brooch. A single coin would not normally be considered as Treasure, whereas a single brooch would be. Although the majority of the brooch fittings are lost, or have been removed, the gilding remains, as does part of the back-plate of the brooch fitting. It is therefore my view that this object should be viewed as a brooch rather than a coin. The brooch has not been subjected to metallurgical analysis, but coins of this period routinely have a high silver content, with even the basest examples normally being well in excess of 50%. This would be enhanced very slightly by the gilding. There is therefore no reason to doubt that the precious metal content of this brooch is well in excess of the 10% threshold specified by the Treasure Act (1996). Equally there is no doubt that the object, dating from the 11th century, is more than three hundred years old, while there is no surviving indication of the original ownership of the object. On all three counts, therefore, the brooch in my opinion represents a prima facie case of Treasure under the terms of the Treasure Act (1996), and should therefore be declared Treasure.

NARC-01D4E4: COIN HOARD
12 silver hammered pennies. The report by Dr. Barrie Cook is as follows: "...a group of 12 coins reported found in the South Northamptonshire area. Eleven are official silver coins of the kings of England, Edward I, II and III, including a penny from the anomalous issues of Berwick upon Tweed. The four pennies will be over 90% fine metal. Seven of the English coins are halfpennies of Edward III's Second Coinage (1335-44), which was struck to a less fine standard, but are still 83% silver. The remaining coin is a continental sterling from Flanders, also struck at over 90% fineness. A detailed list of the coins accompanies this report. The coins represent a sample of the English currency probably around 1340. An extensive issue of halfpennies and some farthings formed Edward III's Second Coinage, but there had been no new pennies been struck since about 1330, and older coins still dominated the penny currency. It is my opinion that this find represents a single body of material of good silver deposited in around 1340. It would therefore appear to fulfil the criteria of Treasure, according to the terms of the Act". An itemised list of the coins follows: Edward I-Edward II 1. Penny 4a (1282-9) Canterbury 1.39 2.

DUR-E81762: HOARD
Curator's report: I have examined a group of 23 coins reported found at Boltby, North Yorkshire. All are whole or damaged silver pennies of the English kings Edward I, II and III (the coins seem to have been complete when deposited, but have suffered significant damage in the ground). As official English silver coins, they will have been struck to the sterling standard of over 90% fine metal. Most of the coins belong to the penny series introduced by Edward I in 1279 and then struck until the 1330s, with one later coin from the Fourth Coinage of Edward III, issued in 1352-3. (A detailed list accompanies this report.) There were some pennies struck in the intervening period, but the relatively small size of the find means that the absence of such coins is not significant. Although there had been a weight reduction in the silver coinage in 1351, hoard evidence demonstrates that in the early 1350s, the issues of Edward I and II still remained dominant, at least among the pennies in use. The Boltby group appears to be a selected part of the currency, not including either the higher value gold and silver denominations only recently added to the English monetary system, or the halfpennies and farthings of the lower level of the denomination system. As the coins are of good silver, would have been in circulation together and are a selected body of material, it is my opinion that the fulfil the criteria of Treasure, according to the terms of the Act.

Weight: 1.081g; die axis cannot be determined. Swansea appears to have operated as an emergency mint during the 'Anarchy', its coins providing the earliest evidence for the town's name. Coins were struck in Stephen's name and that of a baron, Henri de Neubourg. A possible specimen of Stephen's second substantive type from Swansea was found in the Gower in 2003, but insufficient of the legends could be read to confirm the attribution. Boon, G.C. 1986.

LEIC-C03C23: FINGER RING
Medieval gold and sapphire finger ring, 23mm wide and 26mm long. The ring has a sub circular setting 10 x11mm and 9mm deep. It is in good condition and weighs 5.24grams. The setting is circular in form with a slight bulge to accommodate the stone and slightly trapezoidal in section, turning in to hold the stone in place. It has slight collars where the loop is attached but is otherwise plain. The stone is a natural sub-triangular shape, highly polished and is black-blue in natural light. When artificial light is shined on it it is dark blue-green. Non-destructive X-ray fluorescence analysis of the surface of a gold finger-ring from Mowsley, Leicestershire, county, indicated a gold content of 84-87%, a silver content of approximately 9-11%, the remainder being copper. The stone was identified by Raman spectroscopy as sapphire.

Silver groat of Edward IV, London, Light coinage class Vd, North 1568, rose initial mark, 1464-5

CORN-09CBC8: SEAL MATRIX
Copper alloy seal matrix with a circular die and upright handle. The handle of the matrix is hexagonal in cross-section, and tapers and then widens to a hexagonal collar below a suspension loop that is lozenge-shaped in profile with a circular perforation. The circular die (face of the seal) depicts a heart in the centre that is being clasped by two hands with cuffs. Between the wrists is a four-petalled flower and the heart is bordered by foliage on either side. The inscription is set between two simple ridged lines and reads *PRIEVE SV E PLEIN D'A which can be understood as PRIEVE SV E PLEIN D'A[MVR], or in English, 'I am private and full of love'. When the seal is read with the star initial mark at the top, the heart is upside down. These love mottoes in French were private as it denotes and intended to be used for sealing personal letters. They generally date from the 14th century and often have a central design of a heart, flowers or clasped hands (Mills, 1999, 27, Nos.NM.47-48). Cherry in Saunders (1991) illustrates similar seals in form (not the dies) on pages 36-7, Figs.6-7, Nos.12 & 17-18, which are dated from the 14th century.

GLO-B4ACE7: STRAP FITTING
Copper-alloy cross-shaped strap distributor (length 18mm, width 17.5mm, thickness 3mm, weight 2.51g). It has a cross-shaped frame with a cross-shaped aperture in the centre; the angles of the cross are curved and the ends of each have a narrow recess in the centre. Compare SUR-077856, BERK-EF5D92, SOM-294FD3 and LIN-040B56. An example from Middle Harling, Norfolk, mis-identified as a horse-harness pendant (Margeson in Rogerson 1995, p. 68, fig. 51, cat. no. 129) was found by metal-detecting and so does not help in dating, but another example from Winchester (Biddle 1990, no. 1402) was found in an early 13th-century context.

BERK-B2FDF4: BROOCH
A medieval silver annular brooch. The frame is sub-circular in plan and has a thin rectangular cross-section. There is a cut-out bar for the attachment of a pin, now lost. Grateful thanks are extended to Malcolm Jones who comments: On the upper surface there is an inscription that appears to read; CLLA DON MARIA (P)LENIA, which is probably a blundered version of the prayer 'AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENIA DOMINUS TECUM' (Hail Mary, Full of Grace, the Lord is with Thee), or similar. This type of brooch was popular during the 13th and 14th centuries AD. UPDATE 08.05.2019. Malcolm Jones comments; '...this one reads CIL A BONE VIE kI A LEA [translation below]. In manuscript terms, it is the 'best text', i.e. its reading is closest to the presumed original. There are 5 ring-brooches bearing versions of this inscription on the database, the other 4 being: SWYOR-754A5E (which is the 2nd-bs text as it too retains the original B of BON(E) ); and the MON group: LIN-778242; YORYM-f499A2 (important because it retains the final rhyme-word AMIE, albeit in metathesised form as AIME!); LIN-677D60 bears the same inscription but the lettering is too abraded to be of any use The original text is a rhyming couplet and read CIL A BONE VIE [He has a good life] (= mod Fr. celui a bonne vie) kI A LEL AMIE [Who has a faithful lover] (= mod Fr. qui a loyale amie) The spelling kI shows that the original legend evolved in Insular/Anglo-French, not Continental French. The 'k' letter was soon misunderstood as 'R' - BERK-B2FDF4 is the only brooch of the 4 legible inscriptions to have the original 'k'

LEIC-88FB20: COIN
Medieval silver short cross penny struck for John I by Walter in London between 1210 and 1217. The coin belongs to classes VIa - VIc.

LEIC-8887F6: COIN
Medieval silver penny fragment of the 12th century. The coin is most likely either a 'Watford' type of Stephen (1135-54) (N873) with fleurs in each angle of the reverse, or a Henry II (1154-89), cross-and-crosslets 'Tealby' type, the former bebing more likely. However, the coin is fragmentary and very poorly struck and this is uncertain. In addition, there is the possibility the coin may belong to David I of Scotland (1124-53) who struck similar coins to Stephen's Watford type with fleurs in each angle of the reverse.

LEIC-8729A5: COIN
Continental silver sterling imitation of a Medieval Edwardian type penny. This is a 'crockard', struck by John I, Duke of Brabant and Limburg, between 1267 and 1294. Mayhew number 43. The obverse shows a crowned bust facing, possibly wearing a chaplet of roses, inscribed [DVX BRA]BANTI[E]. The reverse has a long cross pattee dividing the legend with three pellets in each angle, inscribed [I DV]X LIMB[VRGIE]. The coin was brought to the PAS held together with sticky tape, and consists of two fragments constituting around five sixths of the coin.

SUR-8507E2: FINGER RING
A late medieval or early post- medieval finger- ring, consisting of a flat hoop cast with the form of two clasped hands (a "fede" or friendship ring). Incised lines at the wrist of the hand probably indicate the drapery of a cuff. The hoop is decorated with lozenges alternating with rectangular panels and a central square panel engraved with a cross. The rectangular panels are cross-hatched. The finger-ring is silver-gilt and dates from the late fifteenth or sixteenth century. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996.

SUR-217AC4: LAMP HANGER
A roughly cast copper alloy cast triangular hollow openwork 'pyramidal' object 32.56mm in length. The object has a rounded apex loop which sits above a short collar. On each side are three unequal openings. The base is also open and has a rounded loop in each angle, each also pierced with a round hole for attachment. While there are no clear parallels this object can with some confidence be identified as a lamp hanger in view of its similarity to the wide range of three-armed lamp hangers of medieval date.

PUBLIC-1BC157: BUCKLE
A complete cast copper-alloy single-looped buckle frame of medieval date (13th-14th century). It has a broadened outside edge, and a narrowed and recessed offset bar opposite (Meols type 11). The outer edge appears generally flat, with a central constriction. In the constriction is a sheet copper-alloy roller in situ. The sides narrow gradually towards the bar. A pin of basic thick sheet construction survives, one end curled around the bar. The other end is pointed at its tip. It measures 15 mm in length and 20 mm in width

Silver farthing of Edward I, class 10, London, North 1058, 1301-10

SUR-0ADBC5: BUCKLE
A fragment of the frame of a large cast copper alloy rectilinear buckle of probable medieval date. The bar is missing, as is one top or bottom edge, and part of the outside edge. The frame has a projecting pin rest on which there is a series of transverse ridges, two closely set flanking a central groove, and one to either end of the projecting area. To either side of the pin rest the frame tapers, and is decorated with a ring-and-dot stamp. There is another similar stamp at the surviving corner. This corner also has a tiny projection to either side of the external angle. The date of the buckle is uncertain.There are early-medieval rectangular buckle frames with ring-and-dot motifs (e.g. NLM6085) but the medieval parallels with ring-and-dot motifs (e.g. BH-64D5D3, SF5529, ) and with projecting pin rests (e.g.ESS-E23362) are more numerous.No parallel seems exactly similar.

NCL-614B02: HOARD
Date: Medieval, c. 1279-1327 Description: A small hoard of eleven silver pennies of Edward I and II, found scattered across a small area. Edward I-Edward II [The number in brackets is that originally assigned to the coin.] Class 3g 1280-1 Bristol 1.24g (bent) (1) Class 3g 1280-1 London 1.0g (2 fragments) (2) Class 4a 1282-9 Durham 1.45g (3) Class 4? 1282-9 ? 0.7 (fragment) (5) Class 10ab5 1302-3 Canterbury 1.03 (fragment) (8) Class 10cf5 1309-10 London 1.24 (fragment) (10) Class 11a3 c.1310-14 Durham (crozier end) 1.18 (6) Class 11b1 c.1310-14 Durham (crozier end) 1.35 (bent) (4) Class 11b2 c.1310-14 Durham 1.33 (11) Class 11c c.1310-14 Durham 1.36 (chipped) (9) Class 13? c.1315-c.1317 Canterbury 1.39 (7) The coins are all fairly worn, in some cases extremely worn, and many have been bent or are otherwise incomplete. Given the similar wear and surface condition of all the coins, it is fairly certain that the group composed a single hoard, deposited at some point in the early 14th century during the reign of Edward II. What is probably the latest coin in the group is hard to identify precisely, though it may be class 13. The most notable feature is the high occurrence of the Durham mint, in contrast to the more typically found coins of the London and Canterbury mints. There are also relatively few coins of the prolific group 10cf. As official English issues of the Edwardian sterling period, these coins will have a fineness of over 90% silver. They were probably deposited on a single occasion in the mid to late 1310s. Dr Rob Collins, FLO North East 18 September 2012 Dr Barrie J.

It weighs 7.8g and measures 27.74mm in length, 18.73mm in width and 3.47mm in thickness. The surname Feaver or Fever is from the Old French fevre meaning smith, derived from the Latin faber.

The candlestick consists of a large socket and an integral projecting shank on its base that would have fitted into a socket of branching arm or base to hold the candlestick. The socket is cylindrical with a shallow conical base, and the whole object is cast solid. There is a moulded collar around the rim and halfway up the height of the socket, with an incised line around the base where it joins the shank.

BERK-67C6B2: STYLUS
A copper alloy incomplete zoomorphic object, probably a stylus in the Romanesque style and dating to the 12th or 13th century. It has an oval head with moulded ears, eyes brows and nose. Mouth open around a T-shaped projection that may have formed the terminal of the stylus. Probable breaks either side of cross bar. Body extends behind head with wings extending upwards and decorated with grooves. Head and body decorated with circular punched indentations. Tail moulding to underside. Circular boss 5.69mm diameter at end of body, beyond which the object is broken. An object in the same vein can be found on this database: SF9941. Dr Kevin Leahy writes: This object may be compared to an example from Winchester on which the eraser emerges from the mouth of a similar winged dragon (Biddle, 1990, 731-2, Fig 210, No. 2283). The Winchester 'stylus' (the identification was qualified) was socketed and more detail shown.

NLM-6623C4: BELL
Sheet copper alloy bell of medieval date, probably from horse harness. Conical bell with an elongated oval suspension loop with (now broken) aperture of length 2.5mm. The body of the bell was formed of beaten sheet metal of a thickness varying from 0.4mm to 1.3mm, rolled to form a cone with a butted seam up the reverse. The loop is pierced from side to side, and projects slightly to the front. Now squashed and distorted, there is no sign of a clapper, and there may not have been one; it is most likely that this bell originally had four lobes at the base that were bent in together to retain a separate pea. Compare NLM-5EFFAE. Length: 33.8mm, Width: 15.9mm, Thickness (overall): 5.5mm, Weight: 3.18g.

LEIC-3B1622: VESSEL
Probably medieval copper alloy folded sheet metal patch for a metal vessel. The object appears to consist of a circular rivet, a patch and a fragment of the vessel to which it was attached. The vessel fragment seems to be part of the rim or lug of a vessel. The fragment is 38mm long, 35mm wide, 7mm thick and weighs 52.11g.

NMS-3B0A21: COIN WEIGHT
Lead coin weight for a noble, uniface with a ship on one side, Withers, Lions, Ships and Angels, p.18, weight 6.61g, very scuffed and abraded, 14th-15th century

NMS-3AFBA4: COIN WEIGHT
Lead coin weight for a noble, uniface with a ship on one side, Withers, Lions, Ships and Angels, p.18, weight 5.46g, fragment missing from lower left corner, 14th-15th century

NLM-3954A2: MOUNT
Silver mount. Cast plate in the form of a cross potent, now roughly folded and flattened. The motif might be apt to the decoration of the cover of a missal, breviary or reliquary. A symbol resembling two conjoined lozenges is stamped into the bar at the end of one of the arms. When combined with smaller similar crosses in its angles, this symbol would become the Cross of Jerusalem, the badge of that Crusader kingdom - the military Orders held extensive lands in eastern England, though their local importance was primarily economic. This object is to be considered as Treasure on account of its presumed age and material. Suggested date: Medieval, 1200-1300. Length: 18.7mm, Width: 10.1mm, Thickness: 1.8mm, Weight: 1.37gms Curator report: Silver mount cast in the form of a cross potent. It has been roughly folded and flattened. The cross is undecorated aside from the bar at the end of one of the arms which is stamped with two conjoined lozenges. On the reverse of one of the arms is possibly the remains of a loop or attachment stud, now crushed. The cross is similar to the Cross of Jerusalem, when combined with smaller similar crosses in its angles, but there are no other traces of decoration or additional crosses. As a result the date of this object is unclear. Naomi Speakman The British Museum 6th November 2012

Copper alloy jetton, French shield of fleurs/cross fleurry in tressure type of Tournai, further details illegible, 1415-97

BERK-255150: KNIFE
An incomplete copper alloy end-cap from a knife. It is sub-rectangular, with one narrower end narrowed, and has a small rectangular slot towards one end. It is undecorated and has a cracked surface. Compare Cowgill et al. 1987, especially no. 116. 14th century.

LON-E1AD95: KNIFE
A late medieval to early post medieval composite copper alloy knife hilt containing a fragment of an iron knife tang. The hilt is formed of two sub-square plates which are attached to either side of the tang. Both plates have two triangular removals from the terminal side, creating a trefoil-like edge. One of the side foils is curved outside, perhap echoing a curve on the handle itself. Both plates are decorated and have a plain raised border; one plate has an engraved elaborate four-petaled flower. The other has a diagonal line dividing the area with a line trefoil in each section. The edges of the line and the border are embellished with perpendicular short lines. The iron tang can be seen on all the edge between the plates, and extends slightly from the hilt before there is a jagged breakline. The hilt and fragment measures 18.0mm (length) x 13.4mm (width) x 4.0mm (thickness) and weighs 3.65g. Similar knife hilts are dated by Brown et al (2001, 70-71) to c.1450-1500.

SUR-A6D001: PENDANT
A late medieval or early post-medieval gilded silver pendant, with a suspension loop at the top, a cabled border and a claw setting, which contains a black stone. The black stone resembles jet and is very distressed, but appears to have been carved into the shape of a scallop shell. There may be a central figure of St James but the damage is too extensive to be certain of this. Jet souvenirs were avidly collected by pilgrims to the shrine of Santiago de Compostela from the late Middle Ages. The scallop shell is the symbol of St James, who is venerated there. The pendant dates from the fifteenth or early sixteenth century. James Robinson

LEIC-A5EAD1: COIN
Medieval silver groat of Edward III, minted in London. Fourth coinage (pre-treaty). Probably series F (1356), standard type F.

LEIC-A46221: MOUNT
Copper alloy mount, probably a medieval furniture stud. It is octofoil in shape, divided into 8 lobes, with a short, wide integral rivet. The object is in fiar condition, is 6mm thick, 29mm in diameter and weighs 13.76g.

LEIC-A442B8: STRAP END
Medieval copper alloy strap end, terminating in a narrowed neck and broken loop. Two rivet holes are visible at the sides, and one rivet appears to be in situ at the wider end of the object. There is a crack right across the width of the object between the rivet holes and the neck. The object is in fair condition, is 32mm long, 15mm wide, 8mm thick and weighs 6.44g.

LEIC-A43943: COIN
Medieval silver long cross penny, probably of Edward I, minted in Canterbury. Possibly class 7 in Spink vol II.

NLM-952FF5: SEAL MATRIX
Copper alloy seal matrix. Cast hexagonal-section handle with apical suspension loop. A strongly defined device is incised in a circular die. This illustrates a contraction mark resembling a yoke, surmounted by a cross potent; the ends of the 'yoke' are trifid, probably representing lis. Below this is a central pellet, above the letters IhC (for Jesus Christ). Malcolm Jones kindly read the inscription, which is set between two grooves, as the common *PRIVE SV* (I am private). The egg-waisted form of the S indicates an early 14th-century date, 1300-1350. Diameter: 19.4mm, Height: 20.8mm, Weight: 8.79g.

DEV-928128: BUCKLE
Medieval cast copper alloy buckle. Annular buckle frame with a castellated pattern. The central bar is intact, the pin is now missing. Buckles of this type have been dated from c.1400 -1500 AD. See no 269, p 46 in Buckles 1250 -1800 by Ross Whitehead for a similar example. Full reference below.

DUR-25D004: FINGER RING
James Robinson of the British Museum writes: Silver Finger Ring of probable medieval date. Only a fragment of the object remains. Engraved with a rudimentary design of notches within a rectangular border. To the left of this is a square panel with horizontal incisions at either side. The reverse is undecorated and there is some tarnish evident on the object. Parallels include NCL-6B3121 on the PAS database and Egan, G and Pritchard, F. (2002^2) Dress Accessories 1150-1450, London: Museum of London: 331: no. 1624.

SWYOR-25C3E5: PILGRIM BADGE
A cast lead alloy Medieval pilgrim badge probably dating from about the late 15th to early 16th centuries. On one surface, there is a crude depiction of the crucifixion. Christ is seen on the cross and he is flanked by two soldiers with spears; the edge of the token has a raised border around the image. The image on the other surface is difficult to interpret but appears to have contained an inscription within a border. The surface of this side has been worn and corroded, and is further damaged by stress marks from the token being folded in half. The may have been a suspension loop at the top of the badge which no longer remains. Edge damage could be where a loop has broken off. There is no other evidence of attachment. Other pilgrim badges which show the crucifixion are known, but only one, from Salisbury Museum, has a similar design as this example. This is Spencer's (1990) no. 73 (fig. 98), a circular badge which depicts the Fountain of Life, i.e. Christ crucified with the blood from his wounds streaming into a circular well or fountain.To either side stand the Virgin Mary and St John, each apparently holding a vessel. The detail on the Yorkshire find is less clear, but if the same scene is depicted, it becomes just the third example of the Fountain of Life known from England. It is thought that the Salisbury example, and a parallel in glass at Marston Bigot, Somerset, are both of Flemish origin and late 15th or early 16th century (Spencer 1990, 38). More distant parallels on the PAS database include two discs decorated on both faces. NCL-47AED3 is a token showing the crucifixion, and NCL-617555 is a badge with a missing loop which shows the crucifixion on one face and St Margaret bursting triumphantly out of the dragon that had just swallowed her on the reverse. Thickness: 3mm; Diameter: 29.3mm; Weight: 9.17g.

Silver penny of Edward I, class 10ab3a/9b mule, mint of London, North 1038/2, 1302-3

LON-121037: FINGER RING
A medieval finger-ring of stirrup shape with two clasped hands engraved on the back of the hoop. The hoop consists of a flat band with an inscription, which reads + A V E M(?) A R I A: G - The last letter is incomplete but appears to form the vertical stroke for the letter 'R'. The full inscription would read: A V E M A R I A G R A C IA P L E N A (Hail Mary, full of grace) This is the salutation of the Archangel Gabriel to the Virgin Mary at the time of the Annunciation of Christ's birth. The words carried amuletic significance in the Middle Ages, and were frequently inscribed on rings and brooches. The finger-ring is silver and dates from the fourteenth century. Dimensions: height 26 mm, width 24 mm and weight 3.3g. Consequently, in terms of age and as the object contains a minimum of 10% precious metal it qualifies as Treasure under the stipulations of the Treasure Act 1996. J P Robinson Curator of Medieval Collections

LEIC-120B57: BROOCH PIN
Medieval silver gilt brooch pin, 43mm long, 5mm wide and 3mm in diameter. The object is in fair condition and weighs 1.95grams. The object consists of a circular sectioned silver pin which terminates in a small rectangular platform. Above this is a circular incomplete loop with a rectangular section which would attach the pin to the brooch. This is hidden from view by an oval plate (10mm x 6mm) which is decorated with a cruciform foliate motif and is gilded. There are also traces of gilding on the loop and shaft of the pin. The pin is similar to an example on the database which is dated to the 13th or 14th Century PAS-371917.

BERK-FED593: HARNESS HOOK
A copper-alloy Medieval hooked mount, probably from harness. The mount has a D-shaped cross section with a flat reverse. The mount is in the form of rectangular plate with an integral hook that curves round towards the rear of the object. There is a moulded collar just beneath where the curve of the hook begins. There is no other decoration. On the reverse of the rectangular plate are two integrally cast copper alloy rivets (probably incomplete) that would have attached the mount to a leather strap. This hooked mount dates from c.1270-1350 AD.

SWYOR-FE9552: HARNESS PENDANT
A cast, copper alloy harness pendant dating from 1150-1300AD. The pendant is circular with a central motif of a shield charged with a cross pattee. Unusually for a harness pendant, it carries an inscription reading: AVE MARIA GRACIA. The device and iconography employed in this pendant are interesting and it is probable that it has some relationship with the Crusades and potentially represents one of the military orders, either the Knights Templar or the Knights Hospitaller/Knights of St. John. A near identical example is recorded on the PAS database from Norfolk (NMS-F4ABB6) and in four examples from Yorkshire with probable Templar association (IHS-6F1E82, IHS-6FCF57, IHS-7018F5 and SWYOR-5503A3). All of the parallels suggest a date in the 12th to 13th centuries AD, and if a connection to the Templars can be determined (though this remains uncertain), then it should date no later than 1314 AD when the order was dissolved. Compare also SF-3A4CD2, LIN-7A7E90, LIN-6A21B6, YORYM-2BCC57, SWYOR-289416, YORYM-6D3B53, SWYOR-D8C192, NMS-EEF2A4 and DENO-F5F2C5. The words AVE MARIA GRACIA mean Hail Mary, full of grace in Latin and are the opening words of the prayer known in English as the Hail Mary. The central cross pattee refers, in all likelihood, to the arms of the Knights Templar, who used argent, a cross pattee gules as their arms (a red cross on a white background). The Knights Templar were initially formed to defend the Holy Land; after a somewhat hesitant start the Order grew rapidly, and its Houses are found across Europe. Much of the Knights' success was due to their ability to act as international bankers; their wealth resided largely in the substantial amount of land bequeathed to them by devout individuals seeking to ameliorate the fate of their souls. By no means all Knights Templar resided in the Holy Land; in common with all large organizations, the Knights had 'employees' wherever their property lay. Templar Houses are found throughout Yorkshire, e.g., Snainton near Malton, and the Preceptory of Temple Hirst, in Birkin, was a Knight Templar possession. A significant number of villages, including Escrick, have Templar tombs in their churches.

SWYOR-A5F2F7: TUMBREL
An incomplete copper alloy trebuchet or tumbrel-type folding coin balance dating from 1300-1450AD. The balance arm, the hinge and the supporting arm remain; the hinge is still operational. The arm with the pan for the coin has broken away in antiquity and is missing. The balance arm is of rectangular section with a broad groove in the underside to accommodate the supporting arm when the balance is closed. The upper corners of the balance arm are slightly bevelled and the arm tapers to a decorative, zoomorphic terminal in the shape of a dog's head. Behind the dog's head is a single, zigzag groove down the centre of the balance arm, ending in a raised, plain, square of metal which has a lozenge shaped cut out in each of the two outside edges. The supporting arm is also of rectangular section, tapering to a blunt point. It is undecorated. The tumbrel has a dark brown patina. In the closed position it is 63.7mm long, 9.5mm wide and 7.3mm thick. It weighs 16gm. An example of a similar apparatus, though not zoomorphic, is illustrated in Egan, 1998, The Medieval Household, figure 245. Zoomorphic examples can be found on the database at SWYOR-519247, LANCUM-A45957 and SWYOR-D082E0. When found, this tumbrel had an unidentified, copper alloy coin or coin weight lodged between the balance and supporting arms. See record SWYOR-A64EB0 for details. If found alone, the possible coin weight would probably have been identified as a Roman coin on the basis of shape, thickness and patination. While it is probable that this object and the tumbrel were lost at the same time, it is also possible that they were independent losses which became entangled during post deposition movement in the soil.

PUBLIC-965226: BUCKLE
An unusual copper-alloy buckle with a D-shaped frame and an incomplete integral plate, probably medieval in date. The frame is convex on its upper face and concave on its underside with a fairly deep recess, presumably to save metal and make the buckle look heavier and more expensive than it really was. The plate is roughly triangular in shape, linked to the frame by two strips of metal with a rectangular pin hole between. The widest part of the triangle comes next, with three small circular perforations in a line to allow attachment to the strap. The corners of the triangle here are rounded and curve into concave edges, which curve and taper to a missing terminal. The pin is also missing. The plate has a flat reverse and the part of the frame by the pin hole is also not recessed here. The break is quite recent, being patinated but very sharp and unworn. The entire buckle measures 45.3mm in length, is 29.4mm wide, has a thickness of 2.9mm, and weighs 9.3g. The metal is in good condition with a dark green patina. No good parallel has been found for the object as a whole, although there is an early-medieval buckle recorded with a fairly similar plate at SOM-2A1C83. This buckle, however, is likely to be medieval in date; see CAM-44D354 for another medieval buckle frame with a recess on the reverse.

HAMP-9646F4: STRAP END
A damaged and incomplete medieval sheet plate in copper alloy, probably from a composite strap-end. The fragment is broadly rectangular, with an intact attachment end, while being broken and bent inwards perhaps around its former centre. The attachment end is biconcave, formed of two small triangular removals. At its centre, below the central protrusion formed by the removals is a small in situ rivet that would have joined the sheet plates together. The object has a mid-green patina with some suggestions of the forked spacer in the corrosion product on the internal surface. It can be dated to the later 14th century by comparison with a similar artefact illustrated in Egan and Pritchard (1991, 142; ref. 660). Compare SWYOR-7DB186 and PUBLIC-D986C2.

NCL-974151: SEAL MATRIX
An anonymous copper-alloy seal matrix, conical with six facets rising to a collar below the (now missing) suspension loop. The flat base bears the design of a paschal lamb standing right, with is head looking left over its shoulder (reguardant). On the lamb's back is a staff surmounted by a cross and with a pennant flag with two tails waving to the left at its top. The flag bears a cross, but tilted in the form of a saltire, in a square panel distinct from the swallow tails of the pennant. Height 14.58mm, diameter 16.42mm, weight 5.1g. The inscription reads: ECCE AGNVS DE (Behold the Lamb of God). Probably 14th century.

SWYOR-6DE545: THIMBLE
An incomplete unusual double walled copper alloy beehive thimble, probably dating from 1400-1500 AD. It is slightly squashed and there is extensive damage to the rim and one side. Originally it was dome shaped, with no division between crown and sides. Unusually, this thimble either has a double layered wall, or is in fact two thimbles which were stacked one inside the other when deposited. Two closely fitting layers of copper alloy are visible, very noticeably where the upper layer is missing. The punch holes covering the walls and top are small, round and erratically spaced. The pits on the walls are arranged in vertical rows where the outer layer survives. The perforations and indentations on both the outer and inner wall are aligned suggesting that the pits were drilled when both components were together, and the pits on the inner layer are less distinct. There is a plain rim around the base. Inside, folds of metal are visible, indicating the construction method.
